MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- CBS' new reality show 'The Briefcase' is set to test a family's values, compassion and faith through a potentially life changing decision.
The show features hard-working American families experiencing financial setbacks who are presented with a briefcase containing a large sum of money.
The decision is whether the 12 families from across the country can keep all of the money for themselves, or give all or part of it to another family in need.
Each week, two families have 72 hours to learn details about each other's challenging circumstances and make the weighty decision of what to do with $101,000; however, what they don't know is that the family with whom they are considering sharing this financial windfall received an identical briefcase with the same instructions.

One of the competing families, The Vendely/Salgado family, is from Miami. They have three children, all under 7 years of age. Amari was born female and was living as a woman most of her life and now lives as a man. Nathalie was laid off from her position as a medical assistant.
Throughout their journeys, relationships within both families will be tested and beliefs questioned as they find out what really matters most in their lives and how much importance they place on values such as love, generosity, compassion and faith.
The Briefcase premieres on CBS4 on Wednesday, May 27th at 8 p.m.
